I know the three or four of you who read this blog might be getting sick of compost pile posts, but too bad, here's another one. We've had a lot of rain over the past couple days - it basically started right after I turned the pile over on Friday and hasn't stopped since. So I was anxious to see how the pile faired.
It did quite well. The temperature read 125 degrees, but I only measured one spot and it was pretty superficial - so I'm sure it's hotter on the inside. You have to either look really close or imagine it, but there is steam coming out of the disturbed compost:
I also took a few shots of the peppers - it's nice to see something green on the blog again. First up is the habanero. No, I haven't eaten any of these. I did give my neighbor one, and I'll take his word for it that they are very hot. These started turning orange a couple weeks ago:
Next up is the cayenne:

agreed, the green is very nice.
lovin' the pepper pics!
Yes, the colors are beautiful. Can I count on you to take a bite of the habanero pepper? I mean why grow it if you don't eat it? Maybe for your birthday ... add a little fire to the party.
You are doing a fine job Nate. Keep it up. I will look forward to feasting on your harvest in the years to come.
